Cat n Mouse project using PowerPoint.
5 Slides: Title, blank, You Win, Play Again, Thanks Come Back Soon.
Using the autoshapes insert a smiley face from the basic shapes option, color the object using format picture command.
Make the happy face for the win slide and make sad face and not so happy colors on the play again slide.
New Today..... use the autoshapes and create 4 arrows on each side with the arrow facing the center. Only the four for today, and later you can add more. Practice click and dragging the object by the sizing handles so that the shapes are appropriate not too large and not too small. You can right click and add text, like "Meow" "Bad Cat" "I'll get you". The green circle is an adjustment handle to change the direction of the object - try it.
Object #2 Today......right click the object, custom animation, add effect, up/down/left/right depending on the object you selected. Try to change the speed and length of the move. The 4-way arrow moves the direction line and the 2-way arrow will allow you to lengthen or shorten the direction path. All objects need to have custom animation put on them. Keep it basic, later you can try to do the fancy stuff.
Object #3 Today....have a better understanding of how the presentation software works. How might this knowledge be of help in your future?
Student samples:
In slide #2 add custom animation to make the arrows move. This should be a review of what we did last week.
Finish up the work you did not the PowerPoint on Me.
Object today will be to add action settings to the moving objects. The rules in this game will be for you the "mouse" to avoid getting hit by the moving arrows or objects the "cats". Until you add the action settings, mouse over, the game really does not end until you click or press enter to move to the next slide. You will need to understand term hyperlink. Object #2 is understanding hyperlinks. Look it up online to have a written understanding of the term.
Hyperlink in the powerpoint is the place you want the slide to advance to in the condition "mouse over" is met. In game terms when the cat gets the mouse you lose. When the mouse over occurs you need to tell the computer to link "hyperlink" to the "you lose slide"
On each object>>right click>>action setting>>mouse over tab>>hyperlink select>>slide....>>play again or what ever name you gave the slide that has the sad face>>click ok. Repeat these steps for each of the objects in the PowerPoint.
Play the game to see how it works.
Go to ATRT and continue to type your lessons for remainder of class period.
